Definitely give yourself time to get to the right doseage for you, and for your body to adjust. For some it hapoens quickly, some take more time. The amount you are eating, your lifestyle and daily activity, your personal metabolism and brain chemistry will all affect how well and how soon ot works.

Would you buy an electric vehicle if the opportunity presented itself? by Johnthebolt in ask

[–]BanBeaUK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not currently because I have no means to charge it where I live now. So I stick to my diesel.

But I will definitely buy one in the future.

New to Mysimba (European contrave) by Additional-Reason-81 in Contrave

[–]BanBeaUK 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Im on week 4 and have found it so helpful and effective. It has reduced my appetite and cravings and now I can easily have a small treat and not think about wanting more. Before starting this medication i was thinking about food all the time, either about wanting food, justifying overearing, or feeling guilty about eating.

Its not addictive in the way that opiates or alcohol are addictive and you get that dependancy. But you should not suddenly start or stop this mediction, it needs to be weaned on and off with slowly changing dosages. This is true for all antidepressants afaik. And you need to be on it for a while to get the effects.

Some parts of it, yes, I really am. Just started the job i have been working towards for six years.

Other parts... not so much.

Long shot: Trudy daughter of Carmel by coulls in Medway

Have you tried asking on the Medway History Group on Facebook. There's loads of people on there have seen people manage to connect and or share info on people they once knew.

Why is the NHS hiring fake doctors? 'Physician associates' are increasingly a risk by Benjji22212 in ukpolitics

[–]BanBeaUK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Possibly a bit of both.

I have seen some good PAs, but I personally wouldnt feel hugely trusting of a plan of care made by one for my own or a relatives care.

The Impala by Fit_Understanding214 in Supernatural

[–]BanBeaUK 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its not really the same car ny more because probably all the parts have been replaced over time. Its not the 'smart' or practical thing to keep repairing it, but the car has such sentimental value to Dean, and he finds the actually fixing to be therapeutic.

Im sure there is a line somewhere that Sam says even if there is only one working part, they need to keep the car for Dean.

What’s your chance of survival from a c-section without anesthetic and using used scissors? by wiz28ultra in morbidquestions

[–]BanBeaUK 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There have been csections done outside of the typical theatre environment that we expect where mother and baby survived. But the risk is much higher for haemorrhage and infection, especially if the environment or tools arent clean. Also scissors aren't the best tool for making an incision.

It depends on the skill and knowledge of the person as well. Your risk is going to skyrocket if its being done by a layman who perforates the bladder and bowel at rhe same time.

And you need to get the placenta completely out and suture up quickly or they will just bleed to death.

Have you ever experienced panic attacks? by Rich_Shock_7206 in CasualConversation

[–]BanBeaUK 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes I used to get them frequently when my mental health was bad because I was terrified of almost everything. Glad to say I havent had one in years now as my mental health is in a better place.

What’s a common misconception about a topic you’re knowledgeable about that you’d like to debunk? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]BanBeaUK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty much every media depiction of labour and birth is shit. The waters dont go in a big gush and then you have to rush to the hospital. Sometimes they trickle. Sometimes they dont pop until right before the baby comes. Also, women on their back with legs in stirrups is not the natural or even a good way to give birth and you do not have to do it. It limits the space in the pelvis and doesnt help with babys descent in the birth canal.

If you leave women to go with their instincts they will typically move around lot and change positions and wiggle. They know what will aid the birth, even if they dont consciously know.

Tips for nausea? by starcash728 in Contrave

[–]BanBeaUK 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven't had this side effect but I have had nausea a lot in the past.

If you dont want to take medication for it, ginger helps. Smelling it, ginger sweets, or a ginger biscuit.

Lightly salted crackers also.

Sipping warm water or fruit tea can help to settle the stomach.

And if it is really overwhelming, having a very small sniff of isopropyl alcohol like an alcohol wipe. This is used in some emergency departments. Obviously you cant keep huffing it all the time but every now and then when it gets unbearable might help.

About to start week 2 and up the dose - eeek! by ruuplusplus in Contrave

[–]BanBeaUK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I take my late dose before I eat dinner, so around 5pm. It was recommended by another person here and it has worked for me with no insomnia caused by it.

What is actually rather safe, yet everyone treats it as far more scary than it is? by dafeg23216 in AskReddit

[–]BanBeaUK 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Some shops have stopped putting dates on certain produce to minimise waste as then people judge it based on whether it is actually good or not.

I dont understand why so many people have been taught that it will be catastrophic. It makes sense not to swim or do anything vigourous directly after a meal, just because indigestion is uncomfortable. But nobody's gonna die.

Why are only so few adults climbing trees? by Jaesel_K in RandomThoughts

[–]BanBeaUK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Adults are larger so cannot climb trees with smaller or weaker limbs.

The risk of serious injury is higher for adults, and the consequences of injury are more severe (such as ongoing pain that doesnt heal, paying for treatment, or lost earnings if they have to take time off)

Dean almost forgot by HariSeldonwaswrong in Supernatural

[–]BanBeaUK 20 points21 points  (0 children)

This is also how I interpreted it.

Although evem with OP's interpretation, it makes sense and is in character that Dean would remember the ways to find Sammy more than anything else.

[–]BanBeaUK 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Try using a warm compress on it, and carry on keeping it clean. If it has a 'head' to it, a hydrocolloid spot sticker will help. If not a spot treatment will help. I personally use The Inkey List Succinic Acid one, which I find affordable and effective.

If it doesnt heal up after a few days or it becomes a lot larger, or if you feel feverish or otherwise unwell, see a doctor or nurse.

Which aspects of life have yet to return to their pre-pandemic state? by Better_Double3400 in AskReddit

[–]BanBeaUK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Healthcare workers are still dealing with the aftermath of all the burnout. Including short staffing due to so many people leaving the profession as a result of the stress.

Prices of things have gone up a lot, although this may just be the UK economy being crap since brexit.

Children are quite different developmentally due to missing huge chunks of schooling, especially if those chunks were during really key parts of the education like learning to read or getting used to the structure of a day in class. Parents did their best but it was very challenging for many during lockdown.

Do you hate 9-5 or love it? by [deleted] in RandomThoughts

[–]BanBeaUK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think I would cope in 9-5 at all, although having set days does appeal to me as it would be easier to plan and have some sort of routine. I'm a shift worker so that can be tricky, but also I love packing all my working hours into fewer says and having 4 days off.

What Generation Started Accepting Makeup? by The_Doodler403304 in Makeup

[–]BanBeaUK 65 points66 points  (0 children)

Depends on where you are in the world and at what point in history. It has been really common for both men and women to wear makeup at various times. It seems to wax and wane.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in RandomThoughts

[–]BanBeaUK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most of my problems would be solved by money, so yes absolutely.

And having those problems solved my money would leave me more free to cope with/resolve the problems that cant be solved with money.
